One Question about Illegal offshore activity...

I have read numerous times how a book is not paying a person because it was deemed that the person was performing activities which the book considers against its rules (ie. multiple accounts, scalping, etc). My question is if the books are allowed to not pay a person after he wins like this, then why doesn't the book have to pay back the people who LOSE this way. Obviously, the books don't know every case, but somehow after a little investigation they always are able to find that a WINNER played against the rules. Therefore they don't pay him. Now that they conclude that he played against the rules and feel they are right for not paying the player, why are they not obligated to pay that person back for all the times he lost, playing against the rules? These books rake in the money on many people who create multiple accounts against the books rules, yet when a perosn finally wins they refrain from paying him. If they take the money, thinking the person will lose it anyway, then either they should pay him when he wins or pay his losses back. Why can books have it both ways? If someone does somehting against their rules, then retroactively the money in the account should be rendered useless.

I am new to the offshore thing...

So enlighten me.

Mr. Green

Welcome to the wonderful world of "make up or intrepret the rules as you go along, whatever works to your own financial benefit."

From what I have read, the rule is...that you can not have multiple accounts....so if you deposit money then your account should either be frozen right away, or if and when they find out that you played illegaly, your account should be frozen retroactively. Therefore you cant win or lose if you did something against the rules. But from what I have read, you CAN LOSE if you play against the rules, but you can't win.

I guess this can be viewed as an ethical question for both sides.

We know the player did something wrong.

Did the book also do something wrong by accepting a fraudulent account?

If the books "all of a sudden" find out after a guy wins that he played against house rules, then I am sure they know it when he deposits his money too.
